Satellite dishes
 
I was just wondering if anyone who owns a satellite dish ( Direct or Dish ) had any problems with reception the last couple of day with the weather we had?

Yes, that goes with the territory. Patience is the only answer...

The good news? You don't have to sweep the snow off of it this Winter.

Yes there is some disruption. Read a book.

Yes, there was some disruption. So I watched The Hatfields & McCoys which I recorded on my DVD.

I'm not always real happy with Comcast but reception is good during the rains and storms.

We lost the signal on Direct TV on and off last night, but popped a disc in the DVD player - no problemo.

The hi def channels on Directv were down a lot, but the alternate low def channels were available.

Exactly...we never lose the SD channels...if the hd channels freeze we just switch to sd...or watch recorded programming on our whole house dvr system....love direct tv!!

Had Dish installed a month or so ago... never lost any signal during Debbie.

DirecTV - we always pick something off the DVR to watch if the signal gets disrupted by a big storm that's going to hang around for a while.

Bill :)
